-====== Ramiva City – Capital Habitation Complex of Ramiva ======
+====== Ramiva (Spinward Marches 3233) ======
-===== Overview =====
+  * **UWP:** B3107A7-8
-Ramiva City is the planet’s largest sealed habitation arcology, carved from the vast, abandoned **Harridan Open-Cut Mine** — once the crown jewel of **Ling-Standard Products’** mineral extraction on Ramiva. Centuries ago, it began as an extensive open-pit operation, but as deeper and more hazardous shafts were bored into the tainted crust, surface living was abandoned entirely. Over generations, the mine became a sprawling underground city.
+  * **Subsector:** Trin’s Veil
+  * **Allegiance:** Third Imperium
+  * **Population:** ~90 million
+  * **Tech Level:** 8 (Late 21st Century Earth, no Gravity)
+  * **Starport:** Class B
+  * **Government:** Charismatic Dictatorship
+  * **Law Level:** 7 (most conventional firearms are illegal to carry openly.)
+  * **Atmosphere:** Trace (vacc suits required)
+  * **Hydrosphere:** None
+  * **Climate:** Hot desert world
+  * **Primary:** M3 V Red Dwarf
+  * **Trade Tags:** Non-agricultural, Pre-industrial, Mercenary Export, Harsh Environment
-The flat, wind-scoured surface above the city still bears the scars of industrial extraction — slag fields, abandoned conveyors, and the skeletons of gantry cranes — now dominated by the Imperial-controlled **Downport** and two other key surface installations.
+===== Summary =====
+Ramiva is a harsh desert world orbiting the hotter edge of its star's habitable zone. It has a trace atmosphere, no surface water, and low gravity — a classic Hell World. Life here depends entirely on sealed habitats, extensive recycling systems, and imported resources.
-===== Surface Features =====
+Despite these conditions, Ramiva supports a population of nearly 90 million, living in subterranean cities carved from ancient mines. Society is tight-knit, militarized, and culturally conservative.
-==== The Imperial Knight’s Residence ====
+===== Government & Society =====
-  * **Occupant:** Sir Garrent Hale Veyrin, Imperial Knight of the Third Imperium, sworn to Marquis Calvon Terik dar-Trin.
+Ramiva is ruled by a charismatic dictator supported by a military-bureaucratic hierarchy. Its main export is trained mercenaries, sought after throughout the Marches for their discipline and tactical proficiency.
-  * **Function:** Oversees all operations at both the Highport and the Downport, acting as Imperial steward for all port traffic and customs.
-  * **Description:** A TL–12+ fortified dome complex with private docking pads, a dedicated fusion power feed, and full Imperial security complement. Its polished surfaces, Imperial banners, and manicured interior gardens are a stark contrast to the barren wasteland outside.
-  * **Reputation:** Respected for efficiency but seen as detached from local life; his loyalty is to the Imperium first, Ramiva second.
-==== The Old LSP Headquarters ====
+Imperial presence includes:
-  * **History:** Headquarters for Ling-Standard Products during the height of mining operations. When LSP pulled out, the Directorate converted the structure into its central administrative hub.
+  * **Sir Alric Dane Valmorra** – Imperial Knight and Warden of Ramiva’s Ports
-  * **Current Use:** Now serves as the **Administrative Center for the Concord Government**. Still bears the faded LSP logo under peeling Directorate-era paint.
+  * **Marquis Calvon Terik dar-Trin** – Imperial Noble and Fiefholder
-  * **Note:** High Speaker Kaelen Varn Derrazi chooses to live deep underground among the people, rejecting the surface complex’s association with corporate and Directorate elitism.
-===== Underground City =====
+Capitol: [[game_systems:traveller:Places:Ramiva_City|Ramiva City]]
-  * **Location:** 250–300 meters below the Harridan pit floor, accessed by maglev personnel lines and heavy freight elevators.
+===== Cultural Notes =====
-  * **Structure:**
+Ramivan society holds traditional values regarding marriage and monogamy. Marriage is seen as a cornerstone of moral character and familial stability. Monogamous unions are standard, and personal honor is closely tied to family loyalty. Military service and structured household roles reinforce these societal norms.
-    - **Civic Core:** Central government offices, Concord Assembly, news broadcast centers, and Derrazi’s modest residence.
-    - **The Midbelly:** Main habitation blocks, worker commons, and market galleries. Crowded but vibrant, strung with improvised lighting and colorful cloth screens.
+===== Starport & Infrastructure =====
-    - **Old Shafts:** Decommissioned mine access tunnels repurposed as storage, smuggling routes, and Preservation Bloc hideaways. Poorly lit, often unpatrolled, and dangerous.
+  * **Highport:** TL-12 Class B installation with refined fuel, maintenance services, and limited ship construction.
+  * **Downport:** Bare-bones shuttle stop with mobile refueling and landing pads for ships up to 500 tons.
